An Unlikely Murderer - 1,776 words
An Unlikely Murderer One would think that crimes
with such a gruesome nature would be committed by
a hatchet-wielding maniac as put by Russell Aiuto
(1). But rather, the suspect was that of a
church-going, Sunday-school-teaching, respectable,
spinster-daughter(Aiuto 1). The young woman,
Lizzie Borden, was charged with the killing of her
father and stepmother, a crime worthy of Classical
Greek tragedy (Aiuto 1). Therefore, the purpose of
this paper is to research the life and trial of
Lizzie Borden in order to determine if she was
innocent or guilty of parricide, the murder of
ones parents. It was on the 19th of July, 1860,
that in Fall River, Massachusetts Lizzie Borden
was born (Radin 268). ...

Animal Farm Book Report - 1,925 words
Animal Farm Book Report Chapter 1(pgs.15-24) In
first chapter, the reader is introduced to all of
his wonderful animals. Obviously most of the
chapter is intended to spark pity and a sense of
sympathy for the poor, suffering farm animals, but
the old Major's words are very telling. The wise
old pig addresses the central conflict of the
book, and of Orwell's intended meaning-- tyranny.
The first (and seemingly only) dictatorship the
animals must overcome is the rule of Mr. Jones and
the other humans. The boar asserts, Man is the
only real enemy we have. Remove Man from the
scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork
is abolished forever. Man is the only creature
that consumes without pro ...

Animal Farm Chapter Xi CHAPTER XI A YEAR PASSED.
The seasons came & went, the short animal lives
fled by. A time when no one remembered the old
days before the rebellion, except Clover,
Benjamin, Moses the raven and a number of pigs.
One day in early summer, the animals woke to the
sound of a loud explosion from the Truman Farm.
Which, in the past Napoleon, had forbid the
animals to have any contact with. The animals ran
out to see what had happened, there was a big
black cloud looming above the farmhouse, it was on
fire, the animals were all wondering what had
happened. Napoleon appeared, raising his trotter
for silence, he said we have been woken an hour
early, with all this commotion we w ...

unjust leader is thrown out. Then it moves on to
where some individuals begin to take more power

Animal Testing - 1,180 words
Animal Testing Medicines, household products,
food, and basically everything involved in the
life of an average person has to under go a form
of testing before it is legal to be placed on a
shelf and if available to the public. The same
tests are performed on every medical procedure
that is introduced to surgeons. Since the only way
to directly mimic the human body is to use it
itself, scientists were forced to find the closest
and best alternative. That is where animals were
introduced to the medical profession.
Experimentation on animals date back to as early
as 500 BC, making this form of medical validation
one of the oldest known to humans. It is not only
one of the oldest but one of the ...

Carl Sandburg - 1,717 words
Carl Sandburg As a child of an immigrant couple,
Carl Sandburg was barely American himself, yet the
life, which he had lived, has defined key aspects
of our great country, and touched the hearts and
minds of her people. Sandburg grew up in the
American Midwest, yet spent the majority of his
life traveling throughout the states. The country,
which would define his style of poetry and his
views of society, government, and culture, would
equally be defined by his writing, lecturing, and
the American dream he lived: The dream of becoming
successful with only an idea and the will to use
it. Historically, Sandburg's most defining poetic
element is his free verse style. His open views
towards Ameri ...

Charcters In Animal Farm - 1,790 words
... d although they don't speak, they are
definitely a force the other animals have to
contend with. Orwell almost speaks of the dogs as
mindless robots, so dedicated to Napoleon that
they can't really speak for themselves. This
contention is supported as Orwell describes
Napoleon's early and suspicious removal of six
puppies from their mother. The reader is left in
the dark for a while, but later is enlightened
when Orwell describes the chase of Snowball.
Napoleon uses his secret dogs for the first time
here; before Snowball has a chance to stand up and
give a counter-argument to Napoleon's disapproval
of the windmill, the dogs viciously attack the
pig, forcing him to flee, never to return ...

Charles Darwin - 969 words
Charles Darwin Charles Darwin Charles Robert
Darwin, as he was known in full, brought many
interesting ideas to the world of science. He was
credited for developing the evolutionary theory by
natural selection and also for discovering a
species of frog while in South America. Darwin has
many followers of his theory of evolution but
there are many people who are trying to disprove
his theory. These people have showed that their
different theories prove Darwin could not have
been correct in every aspect of his theory, but
there is no absolute right or wrong to the theory
of evolution. The world will continue to be
divided on the subject of evolution. Charles
Darwin was born on February 18, 180 ...

Crusades - 1,040 words
Crusades In the Middle Ages, Christians considered
Palestine the Holy Land because it was where Jesus

Palestine in the 600s. Most Arabs were Muslims,
but they usually tolerated other religions. Jews
and Christians who paid their taxes and observed
other regulations were free to live in Palestine
and practice their own religion. The Arab rulers
didnt usually interfere with Christian pilgrims
visiting Palestine, and European traders could

Darwins Origin Of Species - 1,665 words
Darwin's Origin Of Species When the name Charles
Darwin is uttered, an immediate association brings
about the concept of Evolution. Although he was
not the first to discover this phenomenon, he was
the first to explain it. In his book, The Origin
of Species, Darwin discusses evolution- through
variation, why it occurs, the struggle for
existence, natural selection, the geological
record, and several other topics. This book
brought him great recognition as well as many
violent attacks. It was written in a time in
history when the people were very strong believers
in the Church and God. Darwin was the first to
contradict their religious beliefs of Creation,
and was pummeled with criticism. Alt ...

triggers a person to take action at any given

the science of the soul. While many people have
contributed greatly to the science that seeks to
understand human behavior it takes dedication to

our responsibility toward our relationship with
